Why the Floor Press Should Be a Staple in Your Workout Routine

The floor press is a strength training exercise that targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders. 

Here are the steps to perform a floor press:

Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground.

Grab a barbell with an overhand grip and position it above your chest with your arms fully extended.

Lower the barbell down towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body and your wrists straight.

When the barbell touches your chest, pause for a moment and then press it back up to the starting position, extending your arms fully.

Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps.

Some additional tips for performing a proper floor press:

Keep your shoulder blades squeezed together and your core engaged throughout the movement.

Make sure your elbows don't flare out to the sides, keep them tucked in to your body.

Breathe in as you lower the barbell and exhale as you press it back up.

Use a weight that you can control with proper form, and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger.

You can also use dumbbells or kettlebells for this exercise if you don't have access to a barbell.
